We truly can change when we practice meditation

Another breakthrough. I m now learning to share what I read that inspire. Now realised I can do this in my Joy Ong Facebook.

Be the Change - Ed and Deb Shapiro
We think we cannot change, that we are the way we are and that's that - this is who I am and I cannot change and I won't change!
We do have choices. We do not have to be the way we think we are; we can actually be and act differently.

Exactly. I was like that when it comes to food. I tot I can't change and I won't change. Now I know I have a choice. I choose health. I choose to give my body a break.

There is enough pain and suffering in the world already - the very nature of life includes change and unfulfilled desire and a longing for things to be different from how they are, all of which brings discontent and dissatisfaction. He was constantly emphasising that through meditation, we could find a deeper contentment, one that is not dependent on anything or anyone, but arises naturally from within us.

Amen. Father, I never knew this before I start Isha as I always skip any info on meditation. Mmm, that's show my huge resistance. I did Isha because I was at the lowest point, I needed help. Sadhguru said he is using energy as the mode to help. That's why I sign up cos energy is clean and not within my control.

Sitting quietly creates the space for unfinished or unhealed issues to be seen, and they can, at times, dominate our meditation session.  This provides a great opportunity to work closely with ourselves in order to resolve and heal emotional or psychological concerns.

For me, it allows my controls to be lifted and I can express truly.
Perhaps that's why my meditation is full of expression such as crying, laughing and singing.
One day I will be still when I am able to express myself out in the world.
So Mo is correct. I m still a junior.
But I sit with surrendering myself. Letting myself be open and vulnerable.
